  • Dorms are great, comfy beds, 1 big locker per bed ... hostel is huge, lots of common areas, two kitchens ... bathrooms OK but could be more clean. The BIG problem for this hostel is the staff ! The most useless and lazy staff I ever met ... so given you need them to open the front door to get in, you often end up waiting until they dare open the door. One of the staff member (guy with rastas) even asks guests to leave the front door open as he is too lazy and hangover ... security anyone ?

  • The attendents weren´t solicitous at all. We stayed for 3 days and we couldn´t take a single hot shower in neither of the two bathrooms in the second floor. We talked to one of the attendants, and he seemed to ignore it, cause nothing changed, and we ended up taking shower in a bathroom of the next door building, where we saw used hair colour tubes, toothbrush and a spoon scattered on the floor during the 3 days.

  • The hostel was clean, brightly painted, and had a variety of interesting common spaces. Breakfast is very basic (bread and jam with coffee or tea). A good choice for those who want to experience the night life of Bellavista, but not particularly close to downtown Santiago.

  • Amazing place, great location, the atmosphere is good, young people, they just have to make the showers hotter.

  • A gret location with great people. Secure front door and gate. Private rooms available for a great price. Very nice common areas, the place is huge and just sprawls. Some of the innkeepers are very unique individuals, but a great gathering place for global vagabonds. Right in the heart of the trendy Bario Bellavista, make sure to explore around the are there are a couple of hidden shopping quarters/courtyards that are hidden off the the busy streets, I think the name was Patio Bellavista.
